[1820-1830]. Carta de Manuela Sanz para su marido Manuel López, capitán de caballería.

Letter from Manuela Sanz to her husband Manuel López, a cavalry captain.

The author writes her husband to warn him that enquires about him are being made and that the properties of his brother are being seized. She also expresses her love for him and tells him not to doubt her and not to being jealous.

The General Police Administration was closely monitoring the activities of foreign citizens residing in Portugal, also controlling their communications, in collaboration with the superintendent of the Posts. This letter is part of this intercepted correspondence from those Spanish military and intellectuals who, fleeing the absolutist Spain, had taken refuge in Portugal and were suspected of harbouring liberal ideas and of plotting to overthrow Fernando VII and establish a constitutional regime.
